What’s in it

This bill requires the department of human services (DHS) to engage in a cross-agency collaboration with the departments of public health and education to identify and leverage funding sources and opportunities, including Medicaid, to expand evidence-based home visiting services for women and infants that promote healthy pregnancies, positive birth outcomes, and healthy infant growth and development. The departments shall involve key stakeholders in designing an evidence-based home visiting services approach for the state.

Read the full explanation

Evidence-based home visiting services shall be available to women prenatally, throughout the pregnancy, and postpartum, and shall include mental and physical health, social, educational, and other services and interventions based upon the risk factors and needs identified. The departments may conduct a feasibility study to consider the various options available to increase Medicaid coverage and funding of evidence-based home visiting services, either through a state plan amendment or waiver. DHS shall seek federal approval of any Medicaid state plan amendment or waiver necessary to administer the bill.
